October 2009, Sunnyvale, CA—Dionex Corporation introduces new capabilities for the AS-HV High-Volume Autosampler. New
vial racks have been added to increase sample vial capacity (up to 180) to offer greater flexibility and higher throughput. The new
vial racks allow the use of a wider range of vial sizes thus reducing labor, eliminating errors and contamination. The ability to run IC samples directly from centrifuge tubes or Dionex Automated Solvent Extraction (ASE®) collection vials provides a great value for our customers in convenience and ease-of-use.

The range of volumes and vial types includes 10 mL, 15 mL, and 50 mL centrifuge tubes; 26 mL vials; 40 mL and 60 mL ASE collection vials as well as 250 mL bottles and tissue culture flasks. The racks provide the additional benefit of allowing customers to use off-the-shelf vials and tubes that they are currently using in their laboratory. The new vial racks are of great benefit to customers using ASE for preparation of solid samples and customers preferring to use centrifuging as part of their sample preparation procedures.
